Cherry Suisse ‘Kauai; HCC/AOS –Kthy Homann— photo by Bob Stroozas Fort Lauderdale Orchid Society November Speaker: Tom Kuligowski Also Tom gave us his good blog about An- Our November speaker brought us out of the shadows graecums and What's Light got to do with it? and into the light. Tom Kuligowski explained that light has everything to do with how well our orchids will grow. Basically, orchid light falls into three categories: vandaceous, Cattleya, and phalaenopsis light. Tom has found that light meters are able to give exact measure- ments, however the devices only last for 8-10 months. Most digital cameras have light meters as well. A low- tech tool for measuring light is simply using a sheet of white paper and the sun. Hold your hand a short distance from the paper and exam the edges around the shadow. A hard line and a clear dark shadow, is Vandaceous lighting or lighting greater than 5000-foot candles. Cattleya light fades the shadow and no clear line along the shadow edge exists, Cattleya light is 2000 foot candles or brighter. Little or no shadow appears on the white pa- per in Phalaenopsis light, 475-foot candles. How can we control the variable of light? Shade cloth is an excellent tool for controlling light in our grow houses. Tom recommends using aluminet shade cloth. The high-tech cloth reflects light during the summer keeping plants cooler and absorbs light during winter keeping plants warmer. Con- sider 70% and up to 50% layered over 50% as appropriate cover for Phalaenopsis, Liparis, Bulbophyllums, Angrecums and Aerangis. Some Catt- leya, and Brassavola can tolerate 30% shade cloth and most tolerate the mid range weave density. Vandas and Dendrobiums prefer 5000 up to 8000 -foot candles, so a low weave count of 30% is recommended. As we near the winter solstice, take a moment to: read the shadows amongst your or- chid collections, and informally or formally measure the light intensity. Ob- Vanda photo by Steve Herman serve the sunlight throughout the year and change lighting to meet our or- chids needs. Planning for how the light changes in your collect during the year can mean the difference between raising robust orchids and orchids that just barely get by. Light means everything. (By Gigi Granger) Orchid Hybrid Trivia From AOS.org. The total number of grex names in the register is currently 154,660 (as of now). This figure increases daily. Each year The International Orchid Register adds between 3000 -4000 new hybrids. The most popular genera for hybrids are: Photo by Bob Stroozas Phalaenopsis — 31,382 Paphiopedilum — 23,871 Cymbidium — 14,688 Dendrobium — 11,910 So far there are about 2349 hybrid generic names, but not all of these are in use. There are about 5,600 species involved in hybridization. Page 2 Fort Lauderdale Orchid Society Fakahatchee Strand Walk On November 9th, 2013, a busload of curious swampers departed Ft. Lauderdale for a day trip to the cool flowing waters of the Fakahatchee Strand Preserve State Park, in search of the native orchid species that populate the area. It was an experience to simply navigate the seven mile bus ride on the narrow road leading to the starting point of the trek, and not unlike hitting turbulence on a plane. There were a few mud holes on that old railroad bed that were hungry for our bus, and it seemed we narrowly escaped the jaws of calamity several times. But once safe and sound at our staging area, the only anxiety was getting back out the same way we entered. Those fears were quickly al- layed by the excitement of dipping our feet into the Fakahatchee itself, and the hopes of finding elusive orchids that we only read about, or see pictures of. We were not disappointed, for immediately upon entering the fringes of the swamp, we struck gold in the form of many varieties of native species, some in bloom, some not, and some with seed pods, ready to spread the wealth throughout the Strand. At this point, we were mildly concerned about some other types of jaws, which never really materialized ….. well, almost ….. save for one swamper, who decided to test a sunning ‘log’ on the path back to the bus to see if it was asleep or not. Thanks to a walking stick and a hiss, an immediate detour was taken ….. incident averted ….. stride unbroken ….. pants already wet from the swamp. Time to have some lunch then run the seven mile gauntlet back to the mainland, which we did without issues. Once on pavement again, we felt that we needed to reward ourselves with an excursion to the Stone Crab capital of Collier County, none other than Everglades City. We found our crabs, reloaded, and headed home satisfied that a good time was had by all. I would like to thank all who attended, as well as Mike and Donna Owen, the newlywed Park Biolo- gists at the Fakahatchee Strand, as well as Volunteers P.J Marinelli and Karen, who helped lead our tour into and out of the swamp itself. Also gracious thanks to our own Chuck McCartney for helping with the tour and compiling the list of orchids we encountered along the way. Looking forward to doing it again! Sincerely, Capt. Allen Cogar Orchids (And Other Tropical Plants) Observed October 26, 2013 Fakahatchee Strand Preserve State Park List Compiled by Chuck McCartney, Mike Owen, Richard Fagan (With Fort Lauderdale Orchid Society) Orchids 1. Campylocentrum pachyrrhizum Common names: Ribbon Orchid; Little Bent-Spur Orchid Status: Some with seed capsules. Notes: The rarest of Florida’s 3 leafless orchid species. South Slough group led by Mike Owen observed all 3 species. 2. Dendrophylax lindenii Synonyms: Polyrrhiza lindenii; Polyradicion lindenii Common names: Ghost Orchid; Palm Polly Notes: The most famous of Florida’s 3 leafless orchid species, which are relatives of the African angraecoids. 3. Dendrophylax porrectus Synonyms: Harrisella porrecta; Harrisella filiformis (misapplied) Common names: Jingle Bell Orchid; Threadroot Orchid Status: Some with flowers. Notes: The smallest of Florida’s 3 leafless orchid species. The flowers are also the smallest of the common species in subtropical Florida. 4. Encyclia tampensis Synonym: Epidendrum tampense Common names: Onion Orchid; Florida Butterfly Orchid Notes: The most common epiphytic (tree-growing) orchid in subtropical Florida. 5. Epidendrum anceps Synonym: Epidendrum amphistomum Common names: Roller Coaster Orchid; Dingy-Flowered Orchid Status: South Slough group saw one early-blooming plant with 3 flowers. Other plants were in spike. 6. Epidendrum nocturnum Common name: Night-Scented Epidendrum Status: Some plants with seed capsules. West Slough group led by P.J. Marinelli saw one plant with a maturing flower bud. Photo by Sabra Cogar Notes: One of the 2 most common Epidendrum species of South Florida and the one with the largest flowers. The majority of plants in Florida produce Page 3 cleistogamous (closed) flowers that pollinate themselves within the bud and go directly to seed without the flowers opening. Volume 63 Issue 12 7. Epidendrum rigidum Common name: Rigid Epidendrum Status: South Slough group only saw plants with seed capsules. West Slough group observed at least one plant with open flowers. Notes: An orchid only an orchid grower could love. It is a small plant with small, uninteresting green flowers. It is one of the 2 most common Epidendrum species in South Florida, sometimes forming large colonies on tree branches. 8. Eulophia alta Common name: Wild Coco Status: One robust plant seen in flower along Janes Scenic Drive, producing a typically tall inflorescence filled with handsome 1.5-inch-tall flowers. Sterile (non-flowering) plants seen elsewhere. 9. Eulophia graminea Status: Small colony seen in flower growing on a floating log by Richard Fagan, Christopher Ohanian and Mike Owen at the end of the day, after the Fort Lauderdale group had left. The site was across the tram ditch beside Janes Scenic Drive. Notes: This is a small-flowered, large-bulbed species from Southeastern Asia that has shown up only recently in Florida and is spreading rapidly. It is considered an invasive exotic, and the plants seen were removed. This species is more often a plant of roadsides and disturbed areas (including Photos by Sabra Cogar mulched landscaping beds), and Mike Owen says this discovery is the first time he has encountered the species in the kind of swamp habitat where it was found. 10. Habenaria floribunda Synonym: Habenaria odontopetala Common name: Tooth-Petal Rein Orchid Status: South Slough group saw one robust plant in full bloom growing on a floating log. Smaller sterile (non-flowering) plants also were seen. Notes: This is the most common Habenaria species in the southern half of Florida.

  • The Genus Brassavola, (L.) R.Br

    The Genus Brassavola, (L.) R.Br

    The Genus Brassavola, (L.) R.Br. in W.T.Aiton, Hortus Kew. 5: 216 (1813) Type: Brassavola [B.] cucullata [bra-SAH-vo-la kyoo-kyoo-LAH-ta] There are 28 species (OrchidWiz [update Dec 2017]) that are epiphytes and sometimes lithophytes at elevations of from sea level to 3300 ft (1000 m) from Mexico, southern Caribbean islands to northern Argentina in moist or wet montane forests, mangroves, rocky crevices and cliff faces. They are most fragrant at night and many with a citrus smell. The genus is characterized by very small pencil-like pseudobulbs, often forming large clumps; a single, fleshy, apical, sub-terete leaf and the inflorescence produced form the apex of the pseudobulb. The inflorescence carries from a single to a few large flowers. The floral characteristics are elongate narrow similar sepals and petals, the base of the lip usually tightly rolled around at least a portion of the column which carries 12, sometimes eight unequal pollina with prominent opaque caudicles. The flowers usually occur, as a rule, in spring, summer and fall. The flowers are generally yellow to greenish white with a mostly white lip. It is not unusual for dark spots, usually purple, to be in the region where the sepals, petals, and lip join the stem (claw). This spotting is a dominant generic trait in Brassavola nodose. They are easily cultivated under intermediate conditions. Although this is a relatively small genus (28 species), the species show an unusually close relationship with one another in their floral patterns, coloration, and column structure making identification difficult, key to know where the plants were collected.

    Biodiversidad en Campeche Reino Vegetal Macroalgas INTRODUCC I ÓN Las macroalgas son organismos eucariontes multicelulares, fotoau- tótrofos, de arquitectura clonal y estrategia de crecimiento modular, marinos y asociados al sustrato (son bentónicos). Los grupos prin- cipales son las algas verdes (Chlorophyta), las pardas o café (Hete- rokontophyta) y las rojas (Rhodophyta). Constituyen junto a Cyano- bacteria y Eubacteria (Prokaria) grupos evolutivamente ancestrales en Abel Sentíes G. relación, por ejemplo, con las plantas terrestres (quienes comparten y Kurt M. Dreckmann un ancestro común con Chlorophyta). En el mismo tenor, ancestros del tipo rhodophyta, cyanobacteria y eubacteria, a lo largo de eventos endosimbióticos, dieron lugar a la actual organización eucarionte (el primer eucarionte conocido es un fósil del tipo rhodophyta encontrado en rocas de 2.1 billones de años (Brodie y Lewis, 2007). Si bien son grupos morfo-anatómicamente sencillos, las macroalgas despliegan fisiologías y comportamientos reproductivos y ecológicos altamente complejos. DI VERS I DAD El grupo de las algas, en general, puede ser categorizado de acuerdo a su tamaño, en micro y macroalgas. Aquellas que van desde menos de 10 hasta 100 micrometros son consideradas microalgas (forman parte del fitoplancton), y son el objeto de estudio de la microficología, aquellas que van desde las 100 micras (visibles porque miden más de 1 milímetro) a varias decenas de centímetros (como el caso de Macro- 198 La Biodiversidad en Campeche cystis piryfera o kelps que llega a medir más de 30) son categorizadas como macroalgas y son el objeto de estudio de la ficología marina. Al- rededor de 350 000 especies de algas han sido descritas en los últimos 200 años (Brodie y Zucarello, 2007).

    "National List of Vascular Plant Species That Occur in Wetlands: 1996 National Summary."

    Intro 1996 National List of Vascular Plant Species That Occur in Wetlands The Fish and Wildlife Service has prepared a National List of Vascular Plant Species That Occur in Wetlands: 1996 National Summary (1996 National List). The 1996 National List is a draft revision of the National List of Plant Species That Occur in Wetlands: 1988 National Summary (Reed 1988) (1988 National List). The 1996 National List is provided to encourage additional public review and comments on the draft regional wetland indicator assignments. The 1996 National List reflects a significant amount of new information that has become available since 1988 on the wetland affinity of vascular plants. This new information has resulted from the extensive use of the 1988 National List in the field by individuals involved in wetland and other resource inventories, wetland identification and delineation, and wetland research. Interim Regional Interagency Review Panel (Regional Panel) changes in indicator status as well as additions and deletions to the 1988 National List were documented in Regional supplements. The National List was originally developed as an appendix to the Classification of Wetlands and Deepwater Habitats of the United States (Cowardin et al.1979) to aid in the consistent application of this classification system for wetlands in the field.. The 1996 National List also was developed to aid in determining the presence of hydrophytic vegetation in the Clean Water Act Section 404 wetland regulatory program and in the implementation of the swampbuster provisions of the Food Security Act. While not required by law or regulation, the Fish and Wildlife Service is making the 1996 National List available for review and comment.
  • Plant Terminology

    Plant Terminology

    PLANT TERMINOLOGY Plant terminology for the identification of plants is a necessary evil in order to be more exact, to cut down on lengthy descriptions, and of course to use the more professional texts. I have tried to keep the terminology in the database fairly simple but there is no choice in using many descriptive terms. The following slides deal with the most commonly used terms (more specialized terms are given in family descriptions where needed). Professional texts vary from fairly friendly to down-right difficult in their use of terminology. Do not be dismayed if a plant or plant part does not seem to fit any given term, or that some terms seem to be vague or have more than one definition – that’s life. In addition this subject has deep historical roots and plant terminology has evolved with the science although some authors have not. There are many texts that define and illustrate plant terminology – I use Plant Identification Terminology, An illustrated Glossary by Harris and Harris (see CREDITS) and others. Most plant books have at least some terms defined. To really begin to appreciate the diversity of plants, a good text on plant systematics or Classification is a necessity. PLANT TERMS - Typical Plant - Introduction [V. Max Brown] Plant Shoot System of Plant – stem, leaves and flowers. This is the photosynthetic part of the plant using CO2 (from the air) and light to produce food which is used by the plant and stored in the Root System. The shoot system is also the reproductive part of the plant forming flowers (highly modified leaves); however some plants also have forms of asexual reproduction The stem is composed of Nodes (points of origin for leaves and branches) and Internodes Root System of Plant – supports the plant, stores food and uptakes water and minerals used in the shoot System PLANT TERMS - Typical Perfect Flower [V.
  • Prosthechea Green Hornet

    Prosthechea Green Hornet

    ORCHIDS WE SHOULD ALL GROW by Roy Kreugor PROSTHECHEA GREEN HORNET This particular little gem is a primary hybrid of two well known and loved “cockle shell” orchids, cochlea and lanceifolia. The family tree is a little more complicated with name changes in mid stream. First members of the Epidendrum family, this group was moved to the Encyclia heading when epis and encyclias were split. Later, the separate genus Prosthechea was created for the “cockle shell” type orchids. Today, there are about 100 species in this group, found mostly form Florida to Brazil. The plants are sympodial and mostly epiphytes. The distinction all carry is the shell shaped lip, often striped like a cockle shell, and always found at the top of the flower. Green Hornet is a primary hybrid (first generation cross of two species) of Psh cochlea X Psh lancefolia. It is an easy plant to grow in cultivation, easier than either parent. It takes its shape and size from cochlea, and its color, green form lancefolia. Plants can grow to 24” when mature with a typical size of 12-18”. Flowering season is spring to fall, although some will flower almost continuously. Flowers are borne on slender inflorescences up to 18”tall with 4-12 individual flowers opening almost simultaneously. Flowers are typically 3-4”long with narrow pedals and sepals and a shell shaped striped lip. The lip is a dark maroon on the outer side with a cream inner side striped with fine maroon markings. Pedals and sepals are a light green. Each bloom lasts from several weeks to a month.

Zusammenfassung Die antillanische Flora ist eine der artenreichsten der Erde. Trotz jahrhundertelanger floristischer Forschung zeigen jüngere Studien, daß der Archipel noch immer weiße Flecken beherbergt. Das trifft besonders auf die Familie der Orchideen zu, deren letzte Bearbeitung für Cuba z.B. mehr als ein halbes Jahrhundert zurückliegt. Die vorliegende Arbeit basiert auf der lang ausstehenden Revision der Orchideengattung Pleurothallis R. Br. für die Flora de Cuba. Mittels weiterer morphologischer, palynologischer, molekulargenetischer, phytogeographischer und ökologischer Untersuchungen auch eines Florenteils der anderen Großen Antillen wird die Genese der antillanischen Pleurothallis-Flora rekonstruiert. Der Archipel umfaßt mehr als 70 Arten dieser Gattung, wobei die Zahlen auf den einzelnen Inseln sehr verschieden sind: Cuba besitzt 39, Jamaica 23, Hispaniola 40 und Puerto Rico 11 Spezies. Das Zentrum der Diversität liegt im montanen Dreieck Ost-Cuba – Jamaica – Hispaniola, einer Region, die 95 % der antillanischen Arten beherbergt, wovon 75% endemisch auf einer der Inseln sind.
